PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Help is still available for Hurricane Michael survivors through the Disaster Case Management (DCM) program.

DCM case managers work closely with disaster survivors to identify their recovery needs, develop a goal-oriented recovery plan and match them with resources to help them achieve disaster recovery.

FEMA works closely with state, local and community partners to identify the many recovery programs, resources and services available for survivors.

FEMA, the state, local officials and nonprofit organizations continue to work with hundreds of households displaced from their homes after Hurricane Michael. FEMA is currently providing temporary housing units for about 500 families. FEMA and its partners have helped more than 400 families achieve a more permanent housing solution.

The Direct Housing program ends April 11, 2020. Thereafter, FEMA will collect monthly rent and possible fees if occupants continue to live in their FEMA-provided temporary housing unit(s).
